Chilitastic White Bean Chicken Chili Soup Lo Cal, Low Fat

Submitted by Amy BC

"Great chili low on calories and fat but BIG on flavor. If you like cilantro, you should love this chili! Makes 14 1 CUP SERVINGS (You can double up and still be just over 300 Calories!) For dry beans, use just shy of 1 lbs of great northern beans, soak & cook for 6 cups. Freezes well."

 

• Ready In: 5hrs 15mins
• Ingredients: 10
• Yields: 4 quarts
• Serves: 15

ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 lbs boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 8 1⁄2 cups fat free chicken broth
• 4 (15 ounce) cans great northern beans, rinsed
• 2 (7 ounce) cans green chilies
• 1 large onion
• 1 bunch cilantro, chopped
• 8 garlic cloves
• 4 teaspoons cumin
• 2 teaspoons oregano
• 1⁄2 teaspoon cayenne pepper

directions

1. Dice up your onion, Green Chilies, Cilantro, and Garlic. Dump in a crockpot.
2. Rinse your beans in a strainer and then pour over veggies in crock pot.
3. Dump in Oregano, Cayenne, and cumin.
4. Pour Chicken Broth in and give a stir.
5. Place Chicken Breasts (frozen or not, if you don't want to simmer as long can be thawed) on top.
6. Simmer 5-6 hours. You can take the chicken out at about 5 hours and cube or shred or just break it apart with a utensil while cooking. After it is apart put it back in and stir. I shred it right in the crock pot by moving it around with a wooden spoon.
7. Pour in a bowl and dig in!

I was looking for a low fat white chicken chili recipe when I came across this one. Thought ok, sounds easy enough and I decided to try it. The last recipe I made used cream and this one did not but I too am looking at low fat, low calories. Well I have to say it was awesome! What a great flavor it has, and it was eaten up by even the kids who aren't big on beans. I am making it again to take to work for a chili cook off... I think I might just win with this one!
